Video Episode
Forty years after man first walked on the moon, Buzz Aldrin says this is the time to move forward with space exploration's next phase.
Aldrin was on the first lunar landing team in 1969, and he still has an astronaut's vigor at the age of 79.
Recalling the superpower competition that marked the race to be first on the moon, Aldrin says international cooperation should be the theme of future manned spaceflights from Earth.
VOA's Mike O'Sullivan spoke with the retired U.S. Air Force officer in Los Angeles, and has more on what Aldrin thinks about the future of space exploration.
